-Historically, the copyright licensing status of the Python Cryptography
-Toolkit ("PyCrypto") has been somewhat ambiguous.  The original intention of
-Andrew M. Kuchling and other contributors has been to dedicate PyCrypto to the
-public domain, but the original license may not have allowed distributing
-modified versions, depending on one's interpretation of the word "use" (see
-LICENSE.orig).
-
-Additionally, some files within PyCrypto have specified their own licenses,
-which differed from the PyCrypto license itself.  For example, the original
-RIPEMD.c module simply had a copyright statement and warranty disclaimer,
-without clearly licensing anything.
-
-Recently, there has been an effort to clarify the situation.  A multi-faceted
-approach has been taken with regard to ambiguously or incompatibly licensed
-code, including:
-
-- Asking contributors to clarify their original intentions or to clearly and
-  explicitly dedicate their contributions to the public domain;
-
-- Writing new code from scratch as a replacement;
-
-- Using clearly-licensed code from other sources; and
-
-- Removing the code without replacing it.
-
-Where contributors have responded to a request to clarify their intentions,
-their statements have been recorded in this directory.

-The "stmts" directory contains contributors' statements.
